Video Phone: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[Blake and Mortimer]]'' adventure "The Time Trap" depicts a dystopian far future in which communication takes place via camera-equipped wrist phones, for those who can afford them anyway.

* ''[[Marvel 2099]]'' takes it to the next stage with the holo-phone. The first issue of ''Spider-Man 2099'' opens with Miguel checking his messages:

'''Miguel''': I ''know'' it's you, Gabe. Holo-phone, remember? }}

* Seen in ''[[Metropolis]]'' which, made in 1927, is a likely candidate for being the [[Ur Example]].

* ''[[Spaceballs]]'':

'''Barf:''' Sorry, wrong switch. }}

** Also when President Skroob is in the toilet and the mirror in front of him suddenly turns into a wallscreen. He is not amused, especially when his female [[Number Two]] [[Covert Pervert|tricks him into exposing himself]] while giving the Spaceball salute.

* Some of the only dialogue in [[Charlie Chaplin]]'s ''[[Modern Times]]'' comes from the factory boss pestering people via videophone, including when poor Charlie tries to take a badly needed break.

* The interocitor in ''[[This Island Earth]]'' counts.

* Spoofed in the second ''[[Airplane!]]'' movie. Someone on the moonbase turns on a screen and after some static and wavy lines appear is able to get through to William Shatner. There's a brief conversation, then Shatner opens the door in front of him to reveal he was talking to the man through a window.
